It is plain and unadorned, quite a contrast to the elegant pictorial embroidery practiced in the world. Samplers were part of a young woman's instruction, even in Shaker communities. The simple lettering practiced on Shaker samplers was also used to mark linen, bedding, and clothing for the community. Merium Patrick (1835-1910), Enfield, Connecticut. 1857 sampler in linen, silk, cotton. The original sampler is in the collection of Hancock Shaker Village, Pittsfield, Massachusetts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Posy Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44157288415470,"sku":"PC049","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1773\/0411\/files\/PC049_40141.jpg?v=1683560108","url":"https:\/\/halfmoonstitchery.com\/products\/the-merium-patrick-sampler-the-posy-collection","provider":"Half Moon Stitchery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
